The internet in my room is not working. I click the big "e" and it takes me to newschoolers for a split second, just long enough to process the picture and then closes on its own. MSN still works and all that jazz. I think it might be a virus, but maybe one of you could help me becasue Im not much of a computer genious.

Yeah, just install Firefox and get Spybot to clean your registry.

Burn a disk with the installer on it.
Or try this: I'm assuming you have XP? Go to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs and on the left choose Add/Remove Windows Components then uncheck Internet Explorer, Click next, then Restart the computer, pop in the XP CD if you have it then follow the steps again and then check Internet Explorer, click next and if it asks you to restart, then restart. It should work. I have internet explorer anyway so if I were you I'd download firefox. Its the only way to go.

Opera is so fucking sketchy. I've never heard of Firefox screwing anything up, but I've heard a lot about how Opera causes kernel failures and weird shit like that.
